No major changes, just some tweaks. Cars by old rules are grandfathered in if necessary.

so as long as I keep the theme of the challenge rules from this past year, I'm good. didn't ever notice the negative budget possibility, so hadn't planned on exploiting that.

one set of tires still free, can only recoup 1008, and spend 2016. must pass tech.

got it. I think.

Was the themed sub-class discussed for $2017? (Luxo, vans,...Trucks? Wagons?)

Pickup trucks.

Anything that started life as a pickup truck, or has been made into one. Interpret as wide open as you choose. Still needs to meet the SCCA rollover guidelines like the minivans.

Who won Longest Drive? The results don't say. Also, is Longest Drive only for Challenge cars that were driven, or do trailered cars count too?

Somehow I failed to self-identify the kemo saabi as being in the 1008 class. My total budget was about $950. oops.

Didn't there used to be an award for the fastest one man team?

And is it just me or did the results spreadsheet change between last night and today?

Wow, talk about some weird things. How many mini vans showed. Today was the first chance to hit the website all weekend. Was bummed I kept forgetting to look up how things where going. The very short ford truck looked weird? Story behind it? How many cut up bare framed cars where there? The wood body porsha looked very cool and in the spirt.

Very much stand round clapping of hands to andy and his family.

Hey andy, have you thought about boost for next year to get low 8 or 9? Turbo, super, nox for extra boost.....or just use rockets?

I'd have had more than $0.79 left if this was known. I was following the old "can't recoup more than the initial parts deal" rules. I was negative on the donor but capped my recoup at the initial purchase price.
